kenco, you falsely stated in your e-mail to Mr Stone "is it your conclusion that Sunncomms product is on track to become the industry standard"
That was not what Mr Stone concluded, but rather he reported the following points,but left out several other key contracts / agreements.
Mr Stones points:
1.Conclusion: BMG is approaching mainstream adoption of a competitor's CD audio copy protection technology.
2. Competitor's (SunnComm's) CD Solution Gaining Mainstream Adoption In U.S. BMG has now released a total of 12 copy protected CDs using competitor SunnComm's technology.
3. Releases include Velvet Revolver's 'Contraband', the #1 top-selling album in America two weeks ago. This is a significant step forward for the industry and should prompt other labels to follow.
4. Based on our discussions with several major labels, we believe initial sell-through data for copy protected CDs strongly supports the rationale for copy protection expenditures. One noted that new release sales typically drop in week #2 by 50% and copy protected discs have shown drops on average of 30%. Moreover, certain artists are now requesting labels to use copy protection.
And NOW, the 5 or 6 important issues Mr. Stone did not mention.
1. EMI Music Selects SunnComm International's MediaMax Content Management Technology for Pre-Release CDs

2. Sonic Arts Licenses SunnComm's MediaMax M4 Technology for its Pre-Release Audio CDs

3. Independent Music Giant, KOCH Records, Inks an Agreement to Use SunnComm's MediaMax M4 Copy Management Technology
Tuesday June 1, 9:40 am ET
4. DIC Entertainment Selects SunnComm´s MediaMax M4™ Music Management Technology for Strawberry Shortcake Premium Offer
5. Sonopress and SunnComm Technologies Sign Worldwide Licensing and Reseller Agreement for Protecting and Enhancing Audio CDs - Global Replication Giant to Market SunnComm´s MediaMax(TM) Enhancement and Music Management Technologies, Worldwide - ASHEVILLE, N.C. & PHOENIX, Dec 9, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE)
6. Potential of BMG / Sony merger being finalized, thus possibly having Sony adopt the SunnComm technology as has BMG.
I am glad that Mr Stone quickly pointed out to you "Kayliegh" what he did not state or imply."
